Must say that yesterday was superb in South Africa. Even though we are not in the next round, the SA boys did their nation proud by destroying the woeful French! Lots of talk here about that dodgy USA disallowed goal in the Slovenia game ... and about England and their internal problems.

Team news: England start with Rooney and Defoe upfront. Thank god as Heskey is utter shit. They have Barry, Lampard, Milner and Gerrard in the middle so can only see one result there.

The USA's 2nd half performance against SLovenia was superb and if they keep that tempo, then they will destroy the Algerians. I am heavy on the US today

Good luck all

Did anyone know this is the first time in the World Cup history that the team of the country that organized the Cup didn't qualify out of the group?

yeah, even japan and south korea in 2002 qualify both to the next round. Thats why there was speculation bout SA - France match was a setup and the frenchies would throw out the blowout against them. For the sake of the world cup they at least had the decency to score a goal.

Yes, but as soon as the groups were released we knew this would be the case. They got stuck with 3 teams that were a lot better then them.

Didn't know that, mate. Sorry. Let's get the bastard bookies in the Germany-Ghana and Serbia-Australia game.

Goat Milk · 06-23-10, 11:28 AM

i parlayed all the favorites today. Serbia nd Germany pending.

I think we should pound Germany -1.

Not sure bro. Ghana will have a tough time scoring in the last group game goals are hard to score because they effect the standings so the teams play more defensive. The Germans should win the game for sure. I say germany 1 or 2-0. Maybe a germany and serbia ml parlay. Give me some time pal still looking at these next 2 games.

Paco, stay away from that.
In my opinion it is the case when Ghana score first

Ghana are going to sit back and defend. Germany are going to be lacking the bite up-front without Klose. And even if Ghana lose, they might still qualify if Serbia get the job done against the Aussies (if I got my math right).

Ghana needs a win/draw today or for Serbia to lose/draw to advance.

Yes, my mistake. just checked.

lakerboy · 06-23-10, 12:41 PM

I say that under in the Serbia game is good to go. The germany game should be an under as well.

I'm not makin a play on Germany bro, I just wanna see them fail, and Ghana will do their best to make that happen.

The right play on the next games should be obvious:

-Back Germany on the AH-1 hoping they win by 2 goals to cash your bet, this versus a very tough and determined Ghana side.

or...

-Back Serbia on the ML at even better odds than Germany AH-1 to win by a single goal vs. a weak and depleted Australian squad.

Not a very tough call to make here IMO. Good luck whatever you decide to do though brother.

Tommy_de1st · 06-23-10, 01:05 PM

The spirit in Ghana team looks like one in Frech team. I honestly don't believe Germany will be out of the Cup. If they top of the group they'll play England in the 1/8finals
